Preview all files that Apple Installers will install
Authored by: diamondsw on Nov 19, '04 01:22:03PM

The menu item is enabled only after passing the license agreement (if there is one). However, the big problem is it does not "summarize" the list in any way. As most of us here know, a package on OS X (application, kernel extension, etc) may consist of thousands of files. Instead of showing the file list at the package level, it has one line for every file - no way to collapse it as in Pacifist, so you end up scrolling past thousands of lines of text.

So, it'll work in a pinch, but for those big OS updaters, use Pacifist.
